<strong>The</strong> chorus goes something like this, “Sold to the lady in the second row.<br />

She’s an eight, she’s a nine, she’s a ten I know.” But little Robert would<br />

change the words and sing, “Fart on the lady in the second row…” and<br />

the three of us would roll on the floor with laughter.<br />

He was a unique child, very self-motivated and self-disciplined. He<br />

would come home from school and go straight to his room, do his<br />

homework without being told, pick out his clothes for the next day, and<br />

only then would he play. That just blew me away. I’ve never known<br />

another five or six year old that was so responsible.<br />

Robert was about five, and he was eating a piece of Christmas candy one<br />

day, and he held it out to me and said, “Look a trapezoid!”<br />

I looked at him and said, “What’s a trapezoid?” (I didn’t really excel in<br />

academics in high school, remember?)<br />

He held my two arms out parallel and then placed his two hands on the<br />

sides to make a rectangular shape. He said, “That’s a trapezoid.”<br />

I went to the dictionary and looked up “trapezoid” and sure enough, it<br />

said, “A four-sided flat shape with straight sides, that has a pair of<br />

opposite sides parallel.” I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, I really<br />

should have paid more attention in school. Now a five year old is<br />

teaching me new words!<br />

Despite his serious side, he was a typical little boy, teasing his big sisters<br />

and being a little goof ball. He had hamsters in his room that smelled so<br />

bad, and of course I had to clean their cage.<br />

Robert had bunk beds in his room, and when it was bedtime, he would<br />

beg me to lie in the bunk next to him. He would bribe me by saying,<br />

“Pam, we can watch I Love Lucy.” He knew that was my favorite<br />

television show, and a sure way to get me to stay in his room longer.
